Fiscal Cliff Infographic

The folks at nerdwallet have taken information from the CBO and Tax Policy Center and created their own Fiscal Cliff Infographic. It's a nice quick way to get a sense of the "fiscal cliff". Take a look.

Welcome!

The world is changing yet tax systems have been slow to change in the same direction. This can hinder economic progress, lead to a loss in tax revenue, and frustrate taxpayers. Here, I explain some of the problems at the federal, multistate and California levels, offer ideas for reform, and an opportunity to comment on what I post. Thanks for reading and posting comments! If you have a short paper with a realistic idea for modernizing and improving our tax system that you'd like me to consider for posting here, please let me know (annette.nellen@sjsu.edu). This blog gets over 7,000 page views per month.
